HELP.. Received Email from NVC regarding K1

[BeanCamp 28]

Hi,

My NOA2 was received on 3/8/2013. I received (called in to get our case #) on 3/21/2013. Today I receive an email following up to my email request to update the beneficiary's mailing address. Within the email the following text was displayed "This petition is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. You will be notified with further instructions when the processing is complete." I know there is nothing I can do. But I need to understand what this is and what this means. Does this mean now the embassy may put us in AP if they approve us at the interview? I can't believe this. I everything seemed like smooth sailing. I followed the guides on this site prior to submitting my K1. I seriously front loaded that application with everything! My name nor my fiance name have a middle east origin. My fiance has never been in the US. I have never been convicted or involved in a crime. I just don't understand why we were picked or better yet how much time does this delay take from me and fiance being united.

Anyone who has had this experience (K1 specific), especially through Jamaica please advise? I do not know exactly what this mean and how long to expect.

Sounds like its because you requested an address change to the beneficiary. K-1s do not usually under go AP at the NVC stage unless information changes and it needs to be updated. I would not worry much about this right now.

AP means the time it takes to process your paperwork. You will go through AP during different times before and after the interview. It lasts a few weeks. It has nothing to due with middle east origin, everyont goes through AP, it is just the length of time you are in AP.

Thank you all for your replies. It gives me a bit of comfort knowing this is just part of the process.

AP = Administrative Processing. When they process your case due to changes/updates/putting it into the system/Issuing embassy case numbers etc.
